Displaying Images

Option 1: Resize the height after placing the image

Below is a quick reminder on adding an image. 1. Add a block2. Choose image3. Drag and drop your image

after clinking apply, hover over the bottom of the newly placed image to re-size the height.

Option 2: Add white space to the side of images

The spacer will fill in above the photo, grab the spacer block and move it to the side of the image. Not the black bar is indicating where the spacer will go, make sure you have it lined up with just the image (fig 1) and not the block above or below the image block (fig 2)

Hover over the middle of both blocks to adjust the size of the spacer.

Repeat for the other side.
